Please excuse my ignorance. I really wasn't aware that muslims consider the U.S. constitution to be their highest authority.

Their religion DOES NOT MATTER.
Sorry for shouting, but apparently people haven't bothered reading the Constitution lately.
Article VI: "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
What part of that do people think would allow for restrictions based on someone's religion?

Just use the same criteria the Democrat Party used in 1941 to decide which American citizens on the west coast could be trusted with political office....or running around free for that matter.
They got rave reviews for their approach back then, so why not use FDR's yardstick now?

Any citizen of the United States can hold office. What's your point?

Yes. Anyone who is a citizen and loyal to America should be allowed. Most fit that bill.

Freedom of religion! Praise Jah, Jehovah, Allah, Buddah, and don't forget the mighty Dolla! :)

As long as they understand and pledge that the laws of this country go before and above any other law, I don't see why not.

Of course. Why just Christians and Jews?

No, but some would lie, and say they aren't. I guess they could run, but they wouldn't have the countries best interest in mind.
